Which of these parts receive nerve impulses?
dendrites receive electrical and chemical signals from axon terminals.
Which parts of your body contains sense receptors?
Well, all parts of the human body has receptors. Those receptors connect with nerves and sends electrical and chemical impulses to your brain. Receptors include: skin, tongue, ears, eyes, etc.
What is a nerve cells job?
its if you hurt yourself eg. stub your toe then it will send a quick message to your brain telling it were it hurts so you know.
How are nerve cells adapted?
Long extensions called dendrites that respond to neurotransmitters, long extensions called axons which may be wrapped in myelin sheaths and which secrete neurotransmitters, and the ability to generate a resting and an action potential.
What is the route of the auditory nerve from you ear to your brain What parts of the brain does the auditory nerve travel?
Eardrum, Hammer, Anvil, Stirrup, Cochlea, Hair Cells, Auditory Nerve.
The receptors for pain are?
Pain receptors are the types of nerve cell primarily responsible for taking and sending stimulation signals from different nerve endings to the brain, that will usually interpret then as pain. They are present in almost all parts of the body and respond to a broad range of stimuli.
What is the function of kinesthetic receptors?
The receptors for kinesthesis are nerve endings found in the parts of the body.
Which of these parts receive nerve impulses?
dendrites receive electrical and chemical signals from axon terminals.
Do Sensory nerve cells carry information from all sensory receptors to the immune system.?
Not all sensory receptors communicate with the immune system. Nerve cells carry information to various parts of the nervous system, eventually communicating with the brain or spinal cord.

Why are some parts of your body more sensitive than other?
some parts of the body, such as the face, contain more nerve receptors to carry sensations back to the brain than other parts of the body such as the heel of the foot.
Why are some parts of your body more sensitive than trhe others?
Some areas of the skin have a higher density of touch and other receptors so that they are more sensitive. For instance, your fingers need to have a good set of receptors so that you can feel and pick up fine things. The skin of your face needs a high density of receptors to help protect your eyes.
Which parts of your body contains sense receptors?
Well, all parts of the human body has receptors. Those receptors connect with nerves and sends electrical and chemical impulses to your brain. Receptors include: skin, tongue, ears, eyes, etc.
What is the function of a nerve cord in a worm?
While humans and other vertebrates have a spinal column that runs down their back, or dorsal side, earthworms possess a nerve cord consisting of two strands that runs down their belly, or ventral side. The nerve cord of an earthworm relays impulses from receptors in the worm's anterior to posterior parts of its body.
How is comparing mixed numbers and whole numbers different?
Mixed numbers have fractional parts that must be compared; whole numbers do not.
Where on the tongue would the receptors pick up the taste of a chocolate bar?
Earlier it was believed that different parts of the tongue can taste different tastes. But now it has been proved by scientists that all parts of tongue can identify all tastes.
